Four disciplines. One integrated view.
Every engagement draws on all four capabilities to some degree — because subsurface strategy, capital decisions, governance, and transition planning are rarely separable in practice.
Exploration & Development Strategy
Basin analysis, volumetric assessment, and field development planning that convert subsurface data into investment-ready strategy — grounded in three decades of hands-on basin work across four continents.
- Basin and play-level opportunity screening
- Volumetric and reserves assessment
- Field development planning and sequencing
- Depositional and reservoir modeling review
- Exploration assurance and technical risk audits
Leadership & Governance Programs
Executive coaching, board advisory, and capacity-building programs that install lasting governance discipline inside technical organizations — so decisions hold up under scrutiny long after the engagement ends.
- Board and executive advisory on technical decisions
- Leadership development for technical-to-executive transitions
- Governance framework design for NOCs and ministries
- Capacity-building programs for technical teams
Portfolio & Investment Advisory
Fiscal modeling, capital allocation, and risk-weighted portfolio design that align exploration spend with return thresholds — built on technical realism, not spreadsheet optimism.
- Fiscal and economic modeling of assets and portfolios
- Capital allocation and prioritization frameworks
- Risk-weighted portfolio construction
- Investment due diligence on upstream opportunities
Energy Transition & ESG Consulting
Decarbonization pathways and ESG frameworks built on operational reality — designed to be executed by the teams who have to live with them, not just published for a report.
- Decarbonization pathway design for upstream portfolios
- ESG reporting frameworks aligned to investor expectations
- Transition roadmaps that account for existing asset bases
- Stakeholder and regulator engagement strategy
Engagement approach
A consistent structure, adapted to the scale of the question — from a single basin assessment to a multi-year governance partnership.
Assessment
We start by understanding the technical, commercial, and governance picture as it actually is — not as the org chart assumes it to be.
Strategy & roadmap
Recommendations are built to be specific and sequenced, with clear ownership — not a slide deck of general principles.
Implementation support
We stay engaged through execution, adjusting as real conditions surface, rather than handing off a report and moving to the next client.
Capacity transfer
Every engagement ends with your team more capable of making the next decision without us — that's the actual measure of success.
